watercolor painting on paper, mounted but unframed
condition: Good
Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description:
This elegant watercolour painting by John Steane (b.1931) depicts the historic Church of St Mary the Virgin in Iffley, Oxfordshire—one of England’s most celebrated examples of Romanesque architecture. Titled in pencil on the reverse Iffley Church Oxfordshire, the composition captures the Norman façade in rich golden hues, its distinctive round-arched windows and zigzag-carved portal standing proudly beneath a soft, cloud-streaked sky.
Set on a patch of rolling green, the church is offset by an adjacent flint and brick building, adding contrast and narrative charm. Steane’s painterly style pairs flowing washes with precise architectural linework, reflecting both the mood of the landscape and the detail of the historic site. The Romanesque church, dating back to the 12th century, remains largely intact—making it a subject of interest to art collectors, architectural historians, and Oxfordshire enthusiasts alike.
Paintings of specific British churches—particularly named and recognisable ones—are especially desirable for their regional significance and emotional resonance. This work would suit collectors of ecclesiastical art, lovers of Oxfordshire heritage, or anyone seeking to commemorate a personal connection to the area.
